John Sutch Cranes has once again demonstrated its expertise in complex lifting operations with a high-profile project at Sandhills Station, Liverpool, supporting the construction of passenger walkways that will connect directly to Everton Football Club’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
The repeat appointment by a valued client highlights the trust placed in John Sutch Cranes’ ability to deliver on technically challenging projects that blend critical infrastructure with community benefit.
Thousands of fans are expected to use rail connections to access the new stadium, making this a key link in the matchday experience.
We've been in and out of site over a number of weeks as the walkways are removed safely and then painted, before we put them back in in time for the Toffees' next game.
For this phase of works, John Sutch Cranes deployed its 250-tonne Grove GMK5250 all-terrain mobile crane, providing the strength, reach, and reliability required in tight urban surroundings. Despite a busy fleet schedule, the company ensured delivery with its trademark precision and professionalism.
A spokesperson for the client said:
“There’s a reason we continue to choose John Sutch Cranes. They bring excellent teams, the best fleet, and a level of care and professionalism that makes a real difference on site. This project at Sandhills is a perfect example of why they remain a trusted partner.”
Mick Turner, Technical Sales Representative at John Sutch Cranes, who organised the job, added:
“Working on sites like Sandhills Station requires more than just a crane doing the lifting power — it’s about planning, precision, and making sure every detail is right. Our operators and ground crew delivered seamlessly, and it’s great to see the walkways now in place to support such a landmark stadium project for Liverpool.”
John Sutch Cranes takes pride not only in its modern fleet but also in its dedicated people, whose expertise continues to set standards in the lifting industry.
From rail stations to major infrastructure and sporting venues, we are committed to delivering safe, efficient solutions that transform communities across the North West and beyond.
